Almost done with a mashup of the following songs:<br /><br />1) Airplanes by B.O.B. ft Haley Williams<br />2) Love the way you lie by Eminem ft Rihanna<br />3) Impossible by Shontelle<br /><br />Don't expect any rapping. I can't rap worth crap.<br /><br />Will post whenever I get quiet time to record.<br /><br /><br />Oh, and if you want to download songs.... I still haven't gotten around to setting that up. It's on my TO DO list. Until then, if you really want a copy of the song, give me your email address and I'll email you the mp3 of the song requested.

When I got back to it yesterday, it was... it was like the first breath you take after being underwater for far too long. <div><br /></div><div>New mini-song in the works. Happy, poppy, and extremely short; it runs about a minute and fifteen seconds. It's going to be a summer project with Zach, the awesomest person I know. Eventually I think he wants to put a video together for it. I dunno. He's the brains. I'm the... muscle?<br /><div><br /></div><div>I've finally posted "free falling," the sad Grey's Anatomy inspired song I've been telling you guys about.

It's up on my MySpace. Link is on the left if you're interested. It's titled "Became to Me," and was essentially written in the car on a rainy, dreary night. <div><br /></div><div>So... you can imagine what sort of song it is. It's just my piano and me being all melodramatic and depressing. </div><div><div><br /></div><div>Does anyone know of any sort of widget-type thing that will allow me to have songs on my actual blog page?? That way there's less redirecting and clicking for you guys. </div><div><br /></div><div>While I was writing this song I kept thinking of the fanfiction stories written by <a href="http://www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewuser.php?showuid=21696">Rebekka</a>. I'm not exactly sure why because her stories aren't really that sad. They're full of hope. I guess this is one of the emotions she somehow captures with her writing. It's spectacular, and you should definitely check her out.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, what do you guys think about the song?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Lyrics:</div><div><br /></div><div>Sitting still in the darkened night, things don't seem all right.</div><div>Feeling lost like a butterfly captured in mid-flight.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll become what you became to me.</div><div>A lie.

Without practice, you're not a musician. Hours are spent trying to perfect techniques, and the only way to do that is through repetition. <br /><br />Practicing is how a musician solidifies their memorization of a piece, finalizes musical nuances, captures the flavor of the notes, etc. etc.<br /><br />However, just going through the motions isn't enough. Practicing something wrong does not lead to improvement. It only strengthens the habit of playing something wrong.<br /><br />In order to improve, active listening is required... which is easier said than done. It's too easy to lose yourself in sound rather than analyzing what works best for the piece. <br /><br />Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2983425573223123037-7681952370375740446?l=amylinmusic.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy Linhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00229665241808445091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983425573223123037.post-57123061544129231402010-03-19T10:28:00.000-07:002010-03-19T10:35:06.704-07:00Watched the first disc of the first season of Supernatural in one sitting last night. <br /><br />Afterwords, I remembered why I put off watching it for so long.

I had a blast hanging with my family.<div><br /></div><div>Maybe this is really strange, but I become almost entranced with the new little melodies I write.
